Design Activity
Sleeve Sleeve is a hypothetical, embodied technology which uses a brain computer interface to detect the wearer’s affective states, then displays those affects through an e-textile garment. The fabric can change colors, texture, and shape according to the feelings of the wearer. Sleeves can be worn by people, such as those with autism, to help make their emotions more accessible to the people around them.

6 Practical
VSD Takeaways
1 There are methods. Use them. Frequently and throughout the
product development (design and engineering) process.
Use human values as a criteria for evaluating system
2 performance (alongside of other criteria such as reliability).
3 Co-evolve technology and social structure (policy).
Think long term. And at scale.
4
5 Planet: finite, yet regenerative. Engineer within this constraint.
6 Have the courage NOT to build. Just say “no.”Progress not perfection
